Jianguo 328

At this charming, casual joint specializing in Shanghainese cuisine, everything about the food here is traditional (except for the MSG and generous use of oil, sugar, and salt). In the cramped dining room, busy waitresses squeeze by tables with plates of braised pork, sweet dates stuffed with glutinous rice flour, and salted chicken. The ever-present Taiwanese manager is always nearby to make guests feel at home.
